Fan Controllers

I'm looking for something really minimalist for the upcoming Fortress build.

I've looked at the Silverstone FP33B, Zalman MFC1, & the Skythe Kaze-Master.

The "Wind" Master has the funky rpm & temp displays and the best voltage range (as well as the off position).

The Zalman would look great if it didn't have all that white writing on the front...

And the Silverstone one, well, the Fortress doesn't have an external 3.5" bay, and the bay adapter is another £15... meh!


So, I'm leaning towards the Zalman, but the Kaze is quite tempting....

Any thoughts guys? :)

Will this fit in a P183? or do i have to mod it
 
Just noticed the Kaze Master Ace, with the aluminium bezel.

Any ideas if it would go well with the Fortress? I'm half tempted to chance my luck anyway. :)
 
Got a question about the Scythe Kaze-Master, how big are the knobs on the front?

I have a case with a door and I'm not sure I would be able to close it if the knobs protrude out too much. So could a kind person perhaps measure them for me? :)
 
Smelly - it doesn't really matter about matching fans to controllers - they all tend to just adjust the voltage between 5 and 12V (the equivalent of you manually changing the voltage when it's on a molex, but with steps in between). It's mostly just about the interface and number of fans it provides, and whether you want temperature probes in there too.

dntbloodshot - fairly big; about the size of the knobs on an audio mixing desk if you've ever seen one of those. Pretty stereotypical of the size of a dial, in fact. I can't measure it since I don't have one with me, but I'd guess around 2cm.
